v.
ERIK JOHN
MICHAEL ESPINOZA,
Defendant and Appellant.
2d Crim. No. B249914
(Super. Ct. No. SA082716-01)
(Los Angeles County)
Erik
John Michael Espinoza appeals a judgment
of conviction after he expressly waived his href="http://www.fearnotlaw.com/">constitutional rights, pleaded nolo
contendere to arson of property, and admitted suffering a prior arson conviction
and a serious felony strike conviction.
(Pen. Code, §§ 451, subd. (d), 451.1, subd. (a)(1), 667, subds.
(b)-(i), 1170.12, subds. (a)-(d).)href="#_ftn1"
name="_ftnref1" title="">[1] In accordance with a href="http://www.mcmillanlaw.com/">plea agreement, the trial court sentenced
Espinoza to seven years in prison, consisting of a doubled two-year midterm
(four years), plus three years for a prior arson conviction. The court awarded him 225 days of presentence
custody credit and imposed a $240 restitution fine, a $240 parole revocation
restitution fine (stayed), a $40 court security assessment, and a $30 criminal
conviction assessment. (§§ 1202.4,
subd. (b), 1202.45, 1465.8, subd. (a); Gov. Code, § 70373.) It also dismissed the remaining counts and
allegations on the motion of the prosecutor.
The
arson offense involved a fire that Espinoza set on December
11, 2012, in
the backseat of a police patrol car after he was arrested on unrelated
charges. The fire damaged the Plexiglas
window separating the front seat and backseat of the vehicle.
We
appointed counsel to represent Espinoza
in this appeal. After counsel's
examination of the record, he filed an opening brief raising no issues.
On
September 16, 2013, we advised Espinoza by mail that he had 30 days within which
to personally submit any contentions or
issues that he wished to raise on appeal.
We have not received a response.
We
have reviewed the entire record and are satisfied that Espinoza's attorney has
fully complied with his responsibilities and that no href="http://www.fearnotlaw.com/">arguable issue exists. (People
v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436, 441.)
The
judgment is affirmed.
